Review: Roseaoud & Musc by Mancera

Aoud. Oud. Oudh. I love it, .... and I can't help being intrigued when I see a fragrance with it. So, when I purchased  Roses & Chocolate from Aus Liebe Zum Duft I requested Roseaoud & Musc as one of my 3 free samples.

The first time I wore it, I immediately fell in lust.

Notes

Here are the Official Notes from the house of Mancera:

Top Notes: Hot Spices
Heart Notes: Saffron Powder, Rose & Jasmine from Grasse
Base Notes: Sandalwood from India, Aoud & White Musk

The Scent

Wow. Now THIS is SEXY. This is the fragrance you know you shouldn't wear, but you just can't help it.

Concequences... what concequences?

The classy Mancera aoud is the main note, followed by a muted yet sultry rose with a lick of musk.

The sandalwood & saffron refine this perfume with a perfect smooth creamy twist however it's the jasmine that backs up the entire fragrance giving it a golden champagne sparkle.

Last but certainly NOT least - a very delightful, sultry dash of spice gives Roseaoud & Musc a SUPER SEXY kick & an animalistic twist. REOW!

Nothing is overpowering, including the aoud making this a wonderfully well blended fragrance.

Roseaoud & Musc is an AMAZING scent. Perfect for any season, lovely in Winter but you know what? It also works Summer.

Is this for Women or Men?

Either. Or. Both!

Mancera's Roseaoud & Musc is definitely Unisex in my opinion.

Personally I would certainly find it sexy on a man. Would men like it? Well, some men may find the jasmine a little daunting but due to the spice - which certainly includes a dash of cumin - it would 100% work on a man. Gentlemen, you just have to be able - or WANT to be able to pull it off.

Either way, a sample is worthy.

Vice versa, men would definitely find it very very sexy on a woman.

Compliments?

You know, I have hardly had any compliments on Roseaoud & Musc (mostly from women) but, I suppose I mainly wear it to work so perhaps most people don't want to mention it? Who knows? But, you know what - I don't care. I know I smell gooooooood. :D

Lasting Power

Roseaoud & Musc lasts at least 6 hours on me. Okay maybe not the longest  lasting fragrance in my collection but I think that's pretty good!

Will I Buy It?

YES! I already did! I wanted it immediately after the first day I tried it. I bought a 100ml & love wearing it. Would I buy it again? Yes, but lets face it, this bottle will last me forever so another Mancera would be in my sights.

Do I Recommend It?

YES YES YES YES YES. OH YES!
